I have created a simple contact form, i just want to know how can i use my email inside this code to get the message of the guest directly to my email. Am using this form in laravel.
Here is contact form code:

This is my php code  

<?php

$nameErr = $emailErr = $genderErr = $websiteErr = "";
$name = $email = $gender = $comment = $website = "";

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
  if (empty($_POST["name"])) {
    $nameErr = "Name is required";
  } else {
    $name = test_input($_POST["name"]);

    if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]*$/",$name)) {
      $nameErr = "Only letters and white space allowed"; 
    }
  }

  if (empty($_POST["email"])) {
    $emailErr = "Email is required";
  } else {
    $email = test_input($_POST["email"]);

    if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
      $emailErr = "Invalid email format"; 
    }
  }

  if (empty($_POST["website"])) {
    $website = "";
  } else {
    $website = test_input($_POST["website"]);

    if (!preg_match("/\b(?:(?:https?|ftp):\/\/|www\.)[-a-z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-a-z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|]/i",$website)) {
      $websiteErr = "Invalid URL"; 
    }
  }

  if (empty($_POST["comment"])) {
    $comment = "";
  } else {
    $comment = test_input($_POST["comment"]);
  }

  if (empty($_POST["gender"])) {
    $genderErr = "Gender is required";
  } else {
    $gender = test_input($_POST["gender"]);
  }
}

function test_input($data) {
  $data = trim($data);
  $data = stripslashes($data);
  $data = htmlspecialchars($data);
  return $data;
}
?>

This is my html code <

h2>PHP Form Validation Example</h2>
    <p><span class="error">* required field.</span></p>
    <form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>">  
      Name: <input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $name;?>">
      <span class="error">* <?php echo $nameErr;?></span>
      <br><br>
      E-mail: <input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo $email;?>">
      <span class="error">* <?php echo $emailErr;?></span>
      <br><br>
      Website: <input type="text" name="website" value="<?php echo $website;?>">
      <span class="error"><?php echo $websiteErr;?></span>
      <br><br>
      Comment: <textarea name="comment" rows="5" cols="40"><?php echo $comment;?></textarea>
      <br><br>
      Gender:
      <input type="radio" name="gender" <?php if (isset($gender) && $gender=="female") echo "checked";?> value="female">Female
      <input type="radio" name="gender" <?php if (isset($gender) && $gender=="male") echo "checked";?> value="male">Male
      <span class="error">* <?php echo $genderErr;?></span>
      <br><br>
      <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">  
    </form>

Also i want to know how to print a success message to the guest when they send the message. The success message should be printed below the contact form.

From Laravel doc:

Laravel provides a clean, simple API over the popular SwiftMailer library with drivers for SMTP, Mailgun, SparkPost, Amazon SES, PHP's mail function, and sendmail, allowing you to quickly get started sending mail through a local or cloud based service of your choice.

You need to configure your webapp to use the driver you want, e.g. gmail or PHP's "mail" function. Please see other similar question as How to to send mail using gmail in Laravel 5.1?.
